Jiyyah Mae R. Amojelar 1. State the major functions of cholesterol. Its primary role is to preserve the fluidity and structural integrity of cell membranes as well as to act as a precursor for the synthesis of essential compounds for the organism, such as steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D. 2. Define atherosclerosis The accumulation of lipids, cholesterol, and other chemicals in and on the artery walls is known as atherosclerosis. The accumulation is known as plaque. Atherosclerosis can constrict the arteries and obstruct blood flow. The plaque may rupture and cause a blood clot. Includes Diseases: Coronary artery disease Diseases or conditions caused: Myocardial Angina Symptoms: Chest pain 3. What are the classes of lipoproteins and differentiate them from each other? lipoproteins (HDL), lipoproteins (LDL), lipoproteins (VLDL), and chylomicrons are four kinds of lipoproteins that differ in size and density. As the amount of triglycerides in the particles drops, the density increases and the size reduces. 4. List 5 factors that affect total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels. A bad diet. Unhealthy cholesterol levels can be caused eating too much saturated or trans fat. Saturated fats can be found in dairy products and fatty animal cuts. Trans fats can frequently be found in packaged desserts or snacks. Obesity. People who have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher are at risk of having high cholesterol. exercise inactivity The cholesterol in your body, HDL, is increased exercise. Smoking.

State the major functions of Good cholesterol. The cholesterol known as HDL lipoprotein) absorbs cholesterol and transports it back to the liver. After then, the liver removes it from the body. Your risk of heart disease and stroke can be decreased having high levels of HDL cholesterol. 2. Define reverse transport. The process known as reverse transport, also known as transporter reversal, occurs when the substrates of a membrane transport protein are carried in the opposite direction from how the transporter normally moves them. 3. What is the relationship of Good ChoIesteroI with cardiovascular disease. The cholesterol known as HDL lipoprotein) absorbs cholesterol and transports it back to the liver. After then, the liver removes it from the body. Your risk of heart disease and stroke can be reduced having high levels of HDL cholesterol. 4. How to compute for the value of Bad ChoIesteroI. Total cholesterol less HDL cholesterol less triglycerides divided five is how the conventional Friedewald equation calculates LDL cholesterol. The formula uses a universal factor of five for benefit of simplicity.
